Fidelity Holiday Party - Redux

So I've been promising to do a recap of the annual mess known as the Holiday party. But due to circumstances beyond my control *cough* weather *cough* I have not been able to do so until this very day...So here it is.

Let me tell you this first...I looked fabulous. I just want to throw that out there. I bought a dress like back in October for this gala event that I absolutely had to have. I *hearted* it. ANYWAYS, the party was a bit more low key this year. Which is relative in comparison to other Holiday parties that I know of. Less people showed up, I think due to less people being employed, and the weather being as cucky as it was. But have no fear, those who were there did not disappoint.

There were numerous molestations on various dance floors, heavy alcohol consumption, and "gopher" dancing everywhere. Sorry boys, you really need to learn a new move other than the "gopher". And no grinding, or stupid silly dances (see: sprinkler) will substitute. I will still laugh though if you do it....

You know I laugh at this every year because I really think people drink so much, they forget they work with these people. Don't get me wrong, I like to drink with the best of them, I think anyone reading this can attest to that. But seriously....you WORK with these people. Day in and day out. It's one thing to get a fun little buzz....but to be sloppy, fall-down, make out with strangers drunk...well that's just embarrassing. There was a time and a place for behavior like that and that time was College.

I promised I would leave specific names out, and frankly I do not know everyone's name so those who are about to be humiliated will be spared. Overall, I must say the people I recognized from H&W were VERY well behaved this year. Kudos to all of you!! Maybe cause all of the retarded people stayed home...who knows, but those who came out were behaved. Sadly I cannot say the same for our compatriots next door. I know the stock market is in the toilet, but seriously...have some class. I saw some of the most disgusting and outlandish behavior that I am even too embarrassed to speak of here. Its very sad.....All I will say, is look out for "Mess"...she is out there, somewhere in Contra...hunting for the nearest male, female, or inanimate object...

Look for a post on Saturday I have another train wreck of a Holiday Party to go to, which may be more entertaining than this one in regards to people watching.

Lessons learned or just revisited:

~ Boys, regardless of age or alcohol intake, cannot dance. Someone prove me wrong...please

* Although please continue doing whatever move that is, it is QUITE entertaining to watch

~ Buffet lines scare me. Too many people touching my food. I do not know where their hands have been...and frankly I do not want to know.

~I love Coors light. It is my best friend and my "safe-zone"

~Never take drinks from a stranger...you never know where it came from or what kind of roofies are in it.

~ I hate my braces...I can never say that enough.

~ Dancing all night in 5 in stilettos makes the lady who does my pedicures veeeeeery mad.

~ I really do love new car smell. Like brand new car smell...not to rub it in or anything ;-)

~ Some people really do just suck...Nothing we can do to help them. I hate people who think they are above others.

~You can never hear too much Journey or Bon Jovi in any given night.

Oh and before I forget....I think maybe only my Cheese Facsimile friend, and Beef Boner in arms, may have witnessed me doing it...but I totally danced in a Soul Train line to Donna Summer. I was however much better dressed than ANYONE on Soul Train.
